You might have something there, something to think about

it will look similar to my boyfriends old mini, he called it nelson after a can of stella, white with red wheels x
those wheels are so nice.

[Goldie1275]

i thought i would include a picture, yu may get a feel what a white mini with red wheels look like (they are mini special wheels) xx

I like it, thanks

Yesterday, I tried to fit one of the wheels. There is a reason they came with spacers for all around. The tire is basically going into the inner arch. So, I have 2, 3/4" spacers and 2, 1" spacers. Just need to order the longer wheel studs now and find someone with a press.

Today, went to remove the gas tank so I could get started on the suspension. The fuel line decided to come out and then the tank proceed to leak all its fuel out onto the floor and onto the ground. That was fun times, lol. I had an oil drain pan handy, but wasnt expecting the fuel line to come out so it still had some old oil in it. The nice thing though, is it will make it easier to replace the fuel sending unit in the tank now.

Update from Tuesday. New fuel sending unit is installed in the tank and the rear Hi-Los and Spax Shocks are on. Still need a lot of adjustment as I was unsure how the whole setup worked at first. The shocks have rebound dampening and seem to be super stiff, which should be nice. When I was jacking the car up on the driver side to change it out, the passenger side came off the ground rather quickly as well. The whole setup should transform the car into a rather nice go kart

Sorry no pics, was rather greasy.
